I'm romance at short notice. I've been on fictionpress far longer than my profile says, but it was an account made when I was a crappier writer. So just pretend this one has been around since July '06ish, okay?

I write romance (duh.), supernatural, horror, the like. Pretty much, anything having to do with real-life drama or vampires. Hah. (((:

I write it, therefore I read it. The Some Kind of Wonderful Awards has some amazing good stories from the romance genre, so go read 'em! Their authors deserve major love. If you have any suggestions for supernatural stories, send 'em on down! I need a good vampire fic to read haha.

Feel free to PM me -- I'm a pretty friendly person. I'm horrible at being good about reviewing others, which is why I joined the Review Revolution. (scroll down, it's the last thing on my profile.) Go copy&paste! Spread the lurrrrve.

peace&love&happiness :r@sn

p.s. I'll love you forever if you can tell me where my name came from. :D

(9/17/08)A ship, I see a ship! Sails billowing, flag waving proudly -- ! Oh wait, it's just a new story. x)Indeed, romance., the author with an inability to focus on one singular project at a time, has began a new quest! It's a vampire fic, and I'm so unbelievably proud of its plot and characters that I want to scream.

Which I have already, actually. So cross that one off the list. :D

Anyhoozles, keep an eye out, the -439586 of you who are acutally reading this -- I'm hoping to post it within the next week.

Penelope, on the other hand, has come to a dead stop. I'm still writing it, but it's crap. D: I'm trying to work out minor plot details, and then I'll be able to post again. For the those of you who have been watching it, I'm sorry! Please be a little more patient with sorry ole me!

The last thing I'm beginning is a collection of oneshots and such things that I write when I have writer's block. Look for Gobbledegook and Other Kinds of Drabble soon, because I've already started writing the first little bit. (:

I, romance at short notice., do solemnly swear to review all the fics I enjoy, regardless of the number of reviews, its age, or anything else.

I have joined the Review Revolution. Post this same thing in your profile and spread the love!

He should not have been there, but he was. He should have looked away, but he did not. He should not have had her...but he did. A re-telling of King David and Bathsheba. Retired now and available as an ebook.

Forever is for the bursting butterflies, for the sidelong glances, for the eyes that haunt and the words that echo. Forever is for the moments relived over and over and over again, because they are pieces of something extraordinary. :Oneshot Collection:

A girl makes a list of 100 things she wants to find in her perfect guy. She refuses to stop looking until she finds a boy with all 100 traits. But once she finds him, she runs into another problem. She's not happy.

To fight the freshman fifteen, four girls start a contest to see who can lose the most weight. But who can concentrate on dieting when they are surrounded by the craziness that is college life for the first time? And who will take it too far?

Dear Jennifer. I write you letters in my head, sometimes. Things of this nature, in greater detail. Horrific things I could never relive on paper. Feelings that I’d never be able to tell you to your face. Just know that this is what you love. Lewis.

Janice is taking a road trip to find her independence before college. She finds herself in Madison, Michigan, making her money as a regular musician in Gary's Bar. The only downside is Adrian, the handsome, arrogant, musician she has to work with.

Alexis had one rule when it came to dating: he had to be smart. Aiden fit the bill, but just wasn’t picking up on her signals. So she pretended to date the idiotic and histrionic Val in an effort to make Aiden jealous. But Val had other plans… CHAP 3 UP!

It's time for Snow White to tell her own dark story. The stepmother wasn't hers, there was no magic mirror, her prince wasn't a prince and didn't have a horse. And her fellow outcasts... they were NOT dwarves. Come explore the seven paths... if you dare.

If you want to be more specific, the writing on the desk is what really changed my life. Scribbled across the surface of that life-changing desk in the back of that history classroom was a three month conversation with a boy I’d never even met.

The EAHoDSC is a long-standing tradition for Adelaide and her friends. But what happens when one of her other traditions - the delicious Charlie Harris - joins the fray? You know, besides the traditional inordinate amounts of sexual tension?

Autumn is every high school guy's fantasy. She has always had the ability to magnetise them towards her. So what happens when the new guy seems completely unfazed by her appeal? Maybe he is keeping a secret that will blow her mind away ... Read and review

He worked at the local grocery store. He was a bag boy. He was gorgeous. And after seeing him for five straight years of my life, every Thursday I went to buy groceries, he chased afer me in the parking lot.

She stuck her hand in the back pocket of his jeans. "Does this make you uncomfortable?" He smiled and slid his own hand into the back pocket of the shorts she was wearing. "You'll have to try harder than that." It's funny what games become. -Oneshot-

“What the hell kind of killer do I look like,” he managed to utter between spasms of laughter. “I’m covered in paint, for God’s sake!” “. . . Maybe it’s hiding the blood.” I muttered, starting to realize just how ridiculous I sounded. -- V.2 :
